I SAH so I'm with the kids all day every day, and DH works a lot in the summer, so I end up taking charge of the kids, the house, the dogs, etc.... He's super involved when he's here, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-percentage-split-between-you-and-your-so-in-terms-of-parenting-your-lo#post-262017 Fri, 17 Aug 2012 06:58:01 +0000 heffalump 262017@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a SAHM so I do most of it. But DH does a lot when he gets home from work and on weekends. Still when it comes to meals, researching baby gear, etc, that's all me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-percentage-split-between-you-and-your-so-in-terms-of-parenting-your-lo#post-261954 Fri, 17 Aug 2012 02:10:34 +0000 lemondrop 261954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably 70/30, and vice versa with work hours too. Taking care of the baby is my full time job now, but I do get the weekly grown up day at work while daddy stays home with the baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-percentage-split-between-you-and-your-so-in-terms-of-parenting-your-lo#post-261911 Fri, 17 Aug 2012 00:37:40 +0000 Rosie Girl 261911@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe 80/20. I stay home with the kids while DH works 40+ hrs a wk, and do all the bedtime stuff even when DH is home, but I do work 2-3 nights a week, so he makes up for it then :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-percentage-split-between-you-and-your-so-in-terms-of-parenting-your-lo#post-261909 Fri, 17 Aug 2012 00:05:08 +0000 HLK208 261909@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>90/10...DH works 60-70 hour weeks and doesn't have time so I take care of the LO's but he plays with them when he can. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-percentage-split-between-you-and-your-so-in-terms-of-parenting-your-lo#post-261752 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 21:44:04 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 261752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do all the planning, cooking, laundry, shopping, bath time, feeding. DH does take care of Mavrick in the mornings. Preps his breakfast and brings him to daycare. Also usually puts him to bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-percentage-split-between-you-and-your-so-in-terms-of-parenting-your-lo#post-261751 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 21:42:25 +0000 mynoahbear 261751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>About 75 / 25. DH works long hours do he doesn't get to spend as much time with LO but on his days off, he is on diaper duty and does bath time. If he does get home before bedtime, then he puts her down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-percentage-split-between-you-and-your-so-in-terms-of-parenting-your-lo#post-261640 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 20:49:01 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 261640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Normally 80/20, but more recently 70/30 or even 60/40. I still have to do the major planning and meals but DH has been really stepping up since I am pregnant again and really tired. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-percentage-split-between-you-and-your-so-in-terms-of-parenting-your-lo#post-261618 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 20:43:33 +0000 Mrs. Pen 261618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would definitely say 50/50... or even more accurately, 100/100 :) We both give 100% of our time, effort, love, care, energy and everything else to DS.</p> <p>I may be the SAHM, but DH is such a great and involved dad. He actually takes care of him for the majority of the weekends so I get "time off". Even during the week, he helps with night wakings and since he doesn't go to work until late morning, he helps in the morning or will get us with DS so I can sleep in.</p> <p>He also is the bread winner so he is the sole contributor for clothes, diapers, food, housing, etc for LO!! I may do the grocery shopping, but DH makes the money!! Actually, we both love grocery shopping and often do it together on the weekends.</p> <p>If he is home in the evenings, he helps with bedtime. He helps feed LO and can make his food. We also share cooking dinner, cleaning the house, laundry etc.</p> <p>I love that DH is so involved. I told him he's just as much as dad as I am the mom and I expect him to act like it and he really stepped up!! He's SO great. I couldn't do it without him. I love him so much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-percentage-split-between-you-and-your-so-in-terms-of-parenting-your-lo#post-261534 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 20:14:01 +0000 banana 261534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>right now i'd say it's like 60/40. my husband is really involved and he does most of the caretaking of my son. he does everything except preparing his meals. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-percentage-split-between-you-and-your-so-in-terms-of-parenting-your-lo#post-261519 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 20:09:49 +0000 chopsuey 261519@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a SAHM and DH travels a few days a week..<br /> I'd say 85/15? Maybe 80/20.<br /> I do all the grocery shopping, cooking, etc.<br /> DH helps clean, do the laundry, trash duties, LO's bath, takes her on morning outings when he's home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-percentage-split-between-you-and-your-so-in-terms-of-parenting-your-lo#post-261517 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 20:09:11 +0000 Rubies 261517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Currently, I do almost 100% of it. I do all the shopping, cooking, planning, researching, etc. for all things related to LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-percentage-split-between-you-and-your-so-in-terms-of-parenting-your-lo#post-261511 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 20:06:59 +0000 winniebee 261511@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmmm since I'm still on maternity leave I would say 75/25 or even 80/20. When DH comes home from worn he does most diapers and feedings but since he has to work in the morn I still do even most overnight stuff. We were on vacation last week an it was more like 70:30 with him doing most of the work! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-percentage-split-between-you-and-your-so-in-terms-of-parenting-your-lo#post-261486 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 19:59:20 +0000 mrbee 261486@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If it's just direct supervision of our kids, I acquit myself pretty well. But when it comes to more indirect stuff - planning out stuff for the kids (planning meals/buying groceries, planning trips, picking a daycare provider, etc.) - Bee does close to 100% of that.</p> <p>But when it comes to tutoring the kids in math and science, my percentage should go up. I'm just biding my time!</p> <p>What's the percentage split between you and your SO in terms of parenting your LO? </p>
